I've long had a Lazy Web wish for a little perl script that could cat all the txt files in a directory into a Markdown-styled HTML page (that you could then skin with CSS).

That way you could maintain a bunch of easy lists and the script does all the building and posting automagically. You could fake this with a blogging tool, but I like the idea of having it all updated in the background.

Got a good personal status page? Seen one you liked? What would you post on yours? Have a fast trick for helping noobs make and post status points to the interweb? Care to pick up my Lazy Web gauntlet?

We are adding something like this today/tomorrow in My Tickler File. It's a list , sent once a week, of all of your reminders/ticklers in one email. This post does give me some ideas however. Perhaps we can offer that list via RSS. Or add information from other services in our email that are RSS-aware. Hum...any thoughts?
